Temple Emanuel

Temple Emanuel is a synagogue in Davenport featuring red brick walls, expansive windows, and geometric forms characteristic of post-war religious architecture. The building houses a prayer hall, classrooms, and gathering spaces designed for worship and community events.

Architect Percival Goodman designed this synagogue in 1953, bringing modern principles to religious architecture. The project was one of more than 50 religious buildings Goodman created throughout his career in the United States.

The synagogue holds regular services, educational programs, and community gatherings that maintain Jewish traditions in the Quad Cities region.

The building is conveniently located in central Davenport and accessible to visitors. Since it is an active house of worship, hours may vary depending on services and events being held.

The building exemplifies Goodman's architectural philosophy of incorporating natural light and contemporary art into religious spaces.
